Quoting movies has become a regular part of day-to-day conversations ever since the medium moved out of the silent era. Crafting a memorable line of dialogue must be a difficult practice requiring many days and nights of screenwriters staring frustratingly at their computer screens, right? Well, not necessarily. As these 10 examples show, sometimes the […]

The Matrix occupies an odd place in cinematic history, in that the mixed reception to the later installments tend to overshadow just how influential and groundbreaking that original 1999 movie was. Over twenty years after its original release, The Matrix remains one of the most engrossing, thought-provoking pieces of action/sci-fi storytelling in cinema, with a […]

Given that most TV shows represent multi-year commitments for actors, it makes sense that their characters will sometimes outlive them (not in a literal sense, mind you, but that sadly is the case sometimes too). Depending on how important the character is to the ongoing plot, many can be written out of the show but […]

Since landing his breakthrough role in 1994’s Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Jim Carrey has been one of the biggest comedy stars in the world. Known for his eccentric impersonations and manic on-screen energy, Carrey established himself as the most bankable comedic actor of the 90s, appearing in such classics as Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar, […]
It’s been over five years since the world lost the incomparably brilliant Alan Rickman, who sadly passed away from cancer at 69. Known primarily for his villainous roles in Die Hard and the Harry Potter series, Rickman was a highly-regarded actor both on the screen and the stage. While he often played the bad guy, […]
In Hollywood, it’s rare for child actors to sustain career success into adulthood; it’s rarer still for one to become a defining talent of his generation. Since his breakthrough role at the age of 13 in Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, Christian Bale has been one of the film industry’s go-to leading men. While […]
Vulture’s Nate Jones wrote an interesting piece earlier this year where he argued that a TV show’s second season is either its best or worst. Of course, there are exceptions to this “rule” but I certainly buy this argument in the general sense, as the sophomore year is when a show usually hones in on what it’s […]

Much like the actors who preceded him in the role, you can’t talk about Daniel Craig’s career without bringing up James Bond. Craig’s physical and gritty portrayal of the popular British spy not only helped resuscitate a struggling franchise but essentially launched his career outside of the UK. However, anyone who’s paid attention to Daniel […]
We’d like to think that when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he’d never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Mos Eisley Spaceport, he was really talking about the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Of course, as any Game of Thrones fan will tell you, some of the show’s best characters are […]
Historically, video game adaptations haven’t been the sound investments they would appear to be. For more than a quarter-century, studios have tried to translate some of the biggest video game franchises in the world to the silver screen, and the results have been overwhelmingly negative. Super Mario Bros. Doom. Prince of Persia. It’s all too […]
Refreshingly humble and lacking in pretension, it’s no surprise that Josh Brolin has been described as “the realest guy in Hollywood.” The eldest son of Emmy-winning actor James Brolin and the late wildlife activist Jane Cameron Agee, Josh appeared destined for a successful acting career from a young age (he got his first starring role […]
When Andy Samberg left Saturday Night Live in 2013 to star in a new police procedural comedy from Dan Goor and Michael Schur, few could have predicted it would turn into one of the best sitcoms of the decade. Over the course of six-and-counting seasons, Samberg and an incredible ensemble cast comprised of Andre Braugher, Stephanie […]
For a film that’s still at least a few years from release, there’s no upcoming Marvel release as ripe for speculation as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Much of this can be attributed to the production’s much-publicized behind-the-scenes controversy. In July 2018, Disney fired writer-director James Gunn following the resurfacing of controversial tweets from […]
The 92nd Academy Awards take place on February 9, 2020, and the nominations have all been revealed. This year, comic book movies have been recognized in a big way, as Joker leads the pack with an impressive 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. However, it’s not the only film with a […]
We’ve collected some of our favorites released between 2010-2019 that, for whatever reason, didn’t get the acclaim or recognition they deserved.
As part of Goliath’s look back at the 2010s, today, we’re highlighting some of our favorite movie performances from the past decade.
The 2010s will go down as the decade when international markets became the biggest driver of Hollywood box office revenue. In fact, China’s box office is expected to surpass the US in 2020. While international markets can provide a second shot for films that struggle domestically, there are no guarantees when it comes to commercial […]
Mandalorians are known throughout the galaxy as legendary warriors. Here are a few things you probably didn’t know about the Mandalorian culture.
When Disney Plus launched on November 12, new subscribers eager to jam The Mandaclorian into their eyeholes were likely shocked to discover just a single episode waiting for them. Rather than dump the full season all at once, Disney decided to eschew the Netflix release model for its shiny new Star Wars TV series in […]
Christmas is such big business, it’s no surprise Hollywood has managed to make an entire genre out of it – and a shockingly varied one at that. Christmas means something different to everyone, so it makes sense that you can find a Christmas movie for pretty much any taste. You’ve got your traditional biblical stories, […]
